Brain metastases are the most common brain tumors and a leading reason for radiosurgery. This review analyzes 21 studies on Gamma Knife and linear accelerator radiosurgery for brain metastases management.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiation Oncology

Background:

  • Brain metastases are the most frequent intracranial tumors.
  • Radiosurgery is increasingly indicated for their treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review management issues of brain metastases.
  • To analyze the efficacy of radiosurgery for brain metastases.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of 21 English-language reports.
  • Analysis of Gamma Knife and linear accelerator-based radiosurgery data.
  • Inclusion of over 1700 patients and 2700 lesions.

Main Results:

  • Radiosurgery is a primary treatment modality for brain metastases.
  • Data from Gamma Knife and LINAC radiosurgery were analyzed.
